Lời giải:
Ta có: \(\cos a=\sin (90-a)\Rightarrow \cos ^2a=\sin ^2(90-a)\)
Do đó:
\(\cos ^210=\sin ^280\)
\(\cos ^220=\sin ^270\)
\(\cos ^230=\sin ^260\)
\(\cos ^240=\sin ^250\)
\(\Rightarrow \cos ^210+\cos ^220+..+\cos ^280=(\sin ^280+\cos ^280)+(\sin ^270+\cos ^270)+(\sin ^260+\cos ^260)+(\sin ^250+\cos ^250)\)
\(=1+1+1+1=4\)
